Hey, The median home value here is around $565,400, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. What do you all think? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 4 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Active local events and festivals
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Urban sprawl is real
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
